New Upcycle Ideas 707
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Greetings!
This past week I managed to make some rather unique Christmas decorations for this year’s Christmas tree. Until I get them up on the blog, you can get a sneak peek of them now in THIS Wood Christmas Tree in Crate stencil listing!
Now if my cat Lake wouldn’t take off with the burlap tree skirt, all would be well for a photo shoot so I can share! I’ll find a minute or so to snap quick. So stay tuned for that project next week! Along with my mantel and tree! Goodness. The Christmas deadline certainly is ticking!
But I do have a fun project to share that is super unique and so easy to make with whatever you have. My fav kind of project!
3D Christmas tree decoration for a front porch
This fun project was inspired by a neighbour’s pruning pile. I grabbed a bundle of branches, grabbed an old garland I ripped apart and came up with this!
I already have plans to revert it to a winter tree with faux birds and bird treats hanging from the branches after Christmas, so stay tuned for an update! I’m already having SO much fun with this tree!
Moving on for today, let’s get even more inspired to create these fabulous upcycled features from last week’s party…

Displaying Shiny Brites in an illuminated snow jar
A safe way to display Shiny Brite Christmas ornaments by The Apple Street Cottage
I totally aspire to have a special collection of Shiny Brite ornaments one day. And now I know how to display them safely! I love this illuminated glass jar display! Don’t they look like they’re suspended in snow? So precious and could illuminate any dark winter’s night corner at the same time!
